I always enjoyed meeting with Samantha. I never felt worried or nervous coming in. She always made sure you felt seen and heard. She always took time to ask about your day/week and was genuinely interested to hear you. She helped me get through a really difficult time and helped me understand what I was feeling and how to move forward. I was looking for a while, but I am so glad I came across Samantha. It takes a lot to reach out for help, but it takes even more to not do so. If you are seeking help, I would recommend reaching out to Samantha and speaking to her. She is very well versed in her work and is a very empathetic person.
Sam is truly a hidden gem! Began visiting her in high school for moderate obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety, and she honestly was the best thing for me. From our first session, Sam created an extremely safe, supportive space where I felt heard and understood without judgment…. She uses a compassionate, very down-to-earth approach which made it easy to talk comfortably with her, and her insights were always thoughtful, grounded, and incredibly helpful. Here I am over a year later (in full remission, no longer visiting Sam because I am doing so well, thanks to her) continuing to apply what I’ve learned from her, and I’m endlessly grateful for the role she played in helping me become a healthier, more confident version of myself. If you’re considering therapy, I can’t recommend Sam enough—she’s knowledgeable, kind, and truly one of a kind. The only therapist who understood me!

More about Samantha Nguyen, LPC

As a therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois Chicago, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and self-discovery are not only possible but encouraged! I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and a holistic approach that honors the mind-body connection. My approach is client-centered, culturally sensitive, and deeply empathetic—grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. I work with individuals navigating clinical diagnoses, trauma, stress, life transitions, and identity-related challenges. I bring unique insight into supporting clients with any goals they may have. I integrate practical tools and skills with a warm, collaborative style, helping clients develop insight, emotional regulation skills, and confidence in their own voice. Beyond the clinical lens, I understand the human experience from both personal and professional perspectives. I bring authenticity, hope, and realism into the therapeutic space. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or simply someone to walk beside you through a challenging problem, I’m here to support your journey toward healing. Let’s work together to help you reclaim your story and build a life that feels aligned and empowering to you!

Samantha was great! She’s a great listener and easy to connect with.

She is very professional and knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. She helped me to overcome my problems. I would recommend her services.
I visited Samantha for a few months and she was the perfect fit for me. She listened to me and was attentive to my needs. Samantha provided me with a clear plan of action to address my issues. She is very knowledgable and honest with her work. After every appointment, I felt validated and in control of my emotions. I could not be happier to choose Samantha as my therapist.
Samantha is great with kids. My daughter actually looks forward to her sessions. Samantha ues a play based therapy and it allows kids to have fun while opening up about their feeings. I would highly recommend Samantha to any parents looking for a therapist.
She is wonderful with my teen son! He feels comfortable speaking with her and she genuinely care about his well being. I highly recommend her! She is always very open and communicative with me about how he’s doing without violating his privacy.
I always reach out when I make it to my appointments and Samantha always lets me know if she’s available and in her office ready for our session, I know shes still in a session when there is no response because she is focused on her client. Then when getting into my sessions, Samantha never fails to make me feel better about every situation that I am dealing with. Even when I am having trouble talking about the situation, Samntha ensure that I know hat she is here for me and she will have my back. Even when I am wrong, Samantha still validates my feelings and tells me a more positive way i could’ve responded to the situation. All of our sessions are filled with laughter, sadness, anger, and overall the release of all negative and positive emotions. I would never want to have a different therapist, Samantha was my first therapist and she will be my last. I highly recommend to schedule with her. She never fails to help anyone she can.
